From
an organization-wide executive directive to become more data-driven, a retail
corporate L&D team took an internal look at their own data practices.
Realizing that they had an overwhelming lack of transparency into their
learning initiatives and a great amount of data that had gone unused, the team
developed a transformation vision to create a single system of record for
learning to enable observability, granularity, and accountability for all team
members. The team was committed to the vision of xAPI; however, the data and
information they needed in order to make actionable change for their learners
was locked away in non-interoperable formats, and they recognized the need to
develop a data strategy and implementation plan.

In
this case study session, you will see how the organization’s L&D team
created an xAPI data roadmap to not only achieve early wins when it came to the
executive business objectives, but also begin work on a scalable plan to build
out a modern, flexible ecosystem that has the needs of learners at its center.

In this session,
you will learn:

About the data strategy development process

How to connect an organizational goal to a department-level
strategy

What an xAPI implementation looks like from a planning and
timeline perspective

How data sources, integrations, and learning record stores
work together

What the results of a unified xAPI learning ecosystem can
look like

Best practices, look-fors, and gotchas in the xAPI
implementation process
